shadowdaoandClaude Opus 5.5 dd8b99be06 feat(site-builder): reusable global sections with per-page overrides
Make a top-level section global (context menu), place instances from the
Section library's new Global tab, edit the master once in its own zone
("Editing global section" banner, Done - update N instances) and every
instance on every page/header/footer is rebuilt from it. Instances are real
inlined subtrees (custom.global on the root, custom.gkey on every node), so
export and published output are unchanged static HTML.

- utils/global-sections.ts: pure model (createMaster, instantiate,
  syncInstances, collectOverridesFromInstance, applyOverrides, detach,
  findInstanceRoot, master zone round trip). Unchanged input returns the
  identical string; sync keeps the instance root id and the instance's own
  inner ids per gkey.
- PageContext: __global__:<id> zone (editGlobal / finishGlobal); leaving it
  commits the master (rev + 1 only when it changed), syncs every stored
  slot and applies the sync to the returned-to canvas as ONE undo step.
- GlobalSectionsContext: makeGlobal / insertInstance / detach / setOverride
  / resetOverride / remove (refused while used), one undo step each.
- Inline text edits inside an instance record an override (text + html)
  via useGlobalOverrideCommit; GuidedStyles shows a Global section panel
  (Edit master, Detach, content override fields) instead of style panels.
- RenderNode: Global badge, dashed outline, lock icon on inner nodes.
- buildSavePayload: a master zone on the canvas is never saved into a page.

WHP Site Builder v2

A visual drag-and-drop website builder for WHP, rebuilt from the ground up with Craft.js, React 18, and TypeScript. Replaces the legacy GrapesJS-based editor.

Quick Start

npm install
npm run dev

Opens at http://localhost:5173. The editor runs in standalone mode without WHP integration.

Build and Deploy

# Build production bundle
npm run build

# Deploy to WHP
cp dist/index.html /docker/whp/web/site-builder/editor.html
cp -r dist/js/ /docker/whp/web/site-builder/js/
cp -r dist/css/ /docker/whp/web/site-builder/css/

The PHP wrapper (index.php) injects WHP_CONFIG (user session, CSRF token, site ID) into the HTML before serving.

Architecture

  • Craft.js - React-based visual editor framework (no iframe, direct DOM rendering)
  • Inline styles - All user content uses React CSSProperties, no class-based CSS
  • Component pattern - Each component is a self-contained file with: render logic, settings panel, Craft.js config, and HTML export method
  • 3-panel layout - Left (blocks/pages/layers/assets), Center (canvas with device preview), Right (styles/settings/head)
  • Dark theme - CSS custom properties, Inter font, blue accent

Components (22)

Category Components
Layout Container, Section, ColumnLayout (1-6 cols), BackgroundSection, HeaderZone, FooterZone
Basic Heading (H1-H6), TextBlock, ButtonLink, Navbar, Footer, Divider, Spacer
Media ImageBlock (upload/browse/drag-drop), VideoBlock (YouTube/Vimeo/direct/background)
